Adhesive-backed magnets are extremely versatile, which means they are ideal in a wide range of business applications. They are coated with 3M adhesive 467M glue on one side so they don’t lose adhesion over time. Note: Most adhesive magnet packs have 3M adhesive on the north Pole. The remaining half has adhesive on the south Pole. Both sides of the magnet attract to metal, and most magnets are sold in pairs should you need two magnets.  Adhesive-backed magnets can range in pull force anywhere from 1.5 pounds up to about 10 pounds. If you're in need of a stronger pull force, you can consider ordering custom adhesive magnets.

Adhesive-Backed Magnet Applications 

Because of their versatility, we’ve compiled a list of applications where businesses can use adhesive-backed magnets. 
  • Detangle cords: Save yourself time and stress detangling cords with just a binder clip and an adhesive magnet, and attach it onto the side of your desk. 
  • Medicine cabinet storage in Pharmacies: You can use an adhesive-backed magnet on the back of a small plastic or tupperware container, storing gauze, band-aids, q-tips, or diabetic supplies, and attach it to a metal basket. 
  • Model building: When model building, instead of using glue, you can drill holes big enough to fit adhesive magnets inside. By using glue for tiny magnets, you can interchange the model pieces for new designs or repair it when needed.
  • Packaging: To take an ordinary item, such as an envelope or box, and turn it into a luxurious package, you can attach small adhesive magnets onto opposite ends to secure it. 
  • Point of purchase displays: To make your point of purchase display stand out, you can use 3/4" x 1/8" adhesive disc magnets, depending on the force, or custom adhesive magnets to attach onto signs and products. 
  • Promotional car magnets: By attaching an adhesive block magnet to a small sign, you can create a bumper sticker for transportation vehicles. 
  • Shelf labels: Organize your workspace or warehouse by attaching adhesive magnets onto labels. By doing so, you can easily move the labels to a new location.
  • Trade show displays: When you’re attending a trade show, you can make your brand visibly stand out by attaching adhesive magnets onto the back of your signs and displays. They also make for an easy clean-up.
  • Wayfinding and safety signs: When it comes to hanging up wayfinding or safety signs, it’s important to have flexibility to place them wherever needed. For instance, adhesive-backed magnets allow you to easily move signs onto another magnetic surface.
